1
Soak the potatoes in salt water
First of all, add about eight cups of water in a large bowl and add about ¼ cup of salt to it. Stir the mixture of water and salt nicely until they are well combined. Now add the thinly cut potatoes into the bowl and stir the water slowly. Leave the potatoes in the bowl for at least 20 minutes so that the mixture gets soaked into the potatoes. After 20 minutes, remove the potatoes from the bowl and dry them with the help of paper towels.

Keep the chips in a container
